No, really! My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw a huge explosion at the nuclear facility last week. I guess it's pretty serious.

The Telegraph goes out of the way to point out that this rumor is completely unsubstantiated and comes from the "Right wing news website WND", which I am glad to see they are identified as right-wing and also not really identified at all

Iran has been shouldering a LOT of pressure from the sanctions, and have had to believe that taking that pressure is completely worth what they're getting out of it. If this explosion is true, and if it is as damaging to their program as some of these dubious reports suggest, then they're now in the position where they're still under all of this pain from the sanctions and HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW FOR IT anymore. All the west really has to do is maintain the pressure, and continue using worms, assassinations and sabotage to force the timeline ever longer out until the regime crumbles or they give up.

That really could force them make a huge move...either giving up and caving in to all the pressure and giving "The West" what we want (full access to everything, complete inspections and verification of no program and the dismantling of any program that does exist) *or* the exact opposite...forcing their hand to start being extremely aggressive.

Or - we could see exactly what we saw in 2007 when Israel took out the Syrian plant...nothing at all from either side.
